Andy recently returned to the state after several overseas adventures. Most recently he was maintenance manager for the Nature Conservancy's Palmyra Atoll Research Station. Before that he designed and installed rural water and composting latrine systems in the Ngabe-Bugle indigenous area of Panama for the Peace Corps. Always wanting to know everything about everything, he studied engineering, physics, and other things at Dartmouth College, where he published a research paper on energy efficient power electronics design. While at Dartmouth he spent a semester at the Universidad de Belgrano in Buenos Aires as part of a minor in Spanish Literature. He has worked in various aspects of the construction industry since the age of 15 and is thrilled to be on the greener side of that field.
